On November 25 the CDC released their annual abortion report, which features numbers from 47 states (not including California). The CDC reported 664,435 abortions in 2013, a 5 percent decrease.

The long-term decline in abortion continues.

Celebrate the unborn for Human Rights Day on December 10

The United Nations created Human Rights Day in 1950 after World War II. They created it to remind us that a right is something that belongs to every human being. All human beings have an innate, inalienable right to life. It is important that we take the time to remember those poor innocents whose right to life was violated by abortion. We have created a new, free PowerPoint presentation you can use to help educate others about the humanity of unborn children and the cruel nature of abortion.
